reported that high-frequency ground wave over-the-horizon (OTH) radar is the use of longer-wavelength short-wave transmission to do, you can explore thousands of kilometers of sea targets. It has a detection distance, a large observation area, anti-stealth, anti-radiation missiles and other notable features.
